An In-Class Challenge...

There is a famous nursery rhyme, perhaps you've heard of it?

 

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
and Jill came tumbling after

 

Using any, all, or multiples of these images below, attempt to recreate
a scene from this story.
